Title: Graphite Deposits in the United States
Author: Karl, N.A., Knudsen, L.D., Gnesda, W.R., Mauk, J.L., and Schmeda, G.
Comments: This dataset was developed as part of an ongoing effort by the U.S. Geological Survey to inventory public information on critical mineral deposits within the United States that have public record of production and (or) resources above a specified cutoff limit. In the case of graphite, sites must have a contained resource and (or) past production of graphite metal more than 1,000 metric tons, which is approximately 3 percent of the average annual consumption in the U.S. of graphite from 2016 through 2020.
The geospatial data provide location, geologic description, and production and resource information. In general, the USGS uses this information to delineate mineral resource permissive tracts (geographic areas in which specific types of mineral deposits may occur), develop assessments of potential undiscovered mineral resources, determine where and how environmental effects of mining may be observed, and understand the natural variability found in mineral deposits of particular types. The data also support the Federal strategic objective to secure reliable supplies of critical minerals by providing information for geoscience research and mineral exploration to State and Federal agencies, private industry, and the general public.
Subject: This USGS data release provides the descriptions of 10 U.S. sites containing graphite.
